What's the effect of inappropriate flowerpots

1. Small seedling big basin

The flowerpot is too large, the plant is small, the sun is not transparent, the drainage is relatively slow, the water and fertilizer are not easy to control, the growth is slow, and it is particularly easy to cause ponding and rotten roots

2. Big seedling small basin

Small seedlings in large pots are easy to understand. First, the root system cannot stretch and inhibit growth; 2、 When nutrients are insufficient, branches, leaves and roots snatch water and nutrients, resulting in sparse and yellow leaves, small and few flowers, light flower color and even no flowers

Clivia - shallow basin species

Clivia is a succulent aerial root, which has high requirements for root respiration and air permeability of flower pots, so it is generally planted in shallow pots

1. Data reference

The data is only for reference, which should be judged according to the size of flower pot and plant volume

1 leaf seedling, every 4-6 plants are planted in a 10cm basin

2-3 leaf seedlings, every 2-3 plants are planted in a 10cm basin

Large seedlings with 3-5 leaves, each plant planted in a 10cm basin

Large seedlings with 5-8 leaves, each plant planted in a 13cm basin

Large seedlings with 8-10 leaves, each planted in a 16-20cm basin

10-15 mature plants with leaves, and each plant is planted in a 20-23cm basin

15-20 adult plants with leaves, and each plant is planted in a 26cm basin

20-25 mature plants with leaves, and each plant is planted in a 33-40cm basin

2. The root does not top the basin, and the flower is not strong

Clivia is aerial rooting. After the root system tops the basin, it will open a certain gap, which is more conducive to breathing and growth, so as to bloom vigorously and colorful

In addition, plants with shallow roots such as fortune tree, tiger skin orchid, green rose and ivy, and plants with sensitive roots such as longevity, fleshy and cactus are best raised in shallow pots

Orchid - first deep and then shallow

Orchids have a single root and no fibrous roots. They like a breathable and loose environment, but orchids also have pseudobulbs. This thing not only stores water and nutrients, but also relates to accelerating germination and seedling growth. Therefore, the depth of the flowerpot should comprehensively consider the needs of roots and pseudobulbs

1. First deep and then shallow

First, plant the orchid deeply, let the false bulb fully contact with the plant material, germinate and sprout more

But in the environment of high temperature and humidity in the soil, saplings are easy to appear. What should we do? After the orchid seedlings grow out, remove some plant materials and expose some false bulbs, which can reduce the probability of infection

2. Deep planting in the north and shallow planting in the South

The climate in the north is dry, and the pseudobulbs are exposed outside, which is not conducive to germination and growth. The pot surface is dry and wet, and the new seedlings are not easy to take root; The climate in the south is humid and suitable for shallow planting

3. Shallow planting of clay material and deep planting of granular material

Mud material has poor air permeability, which is suitable for shallow planting. Granular material is loose and breathable, and it is better to use deep basin

Rhododendron -- shallow pot species

The root system of Rhododendron is very shallow and there is no main root system, but there are many fine fibrous roots, which are mainly concentrated in the upper part of the soil and should not be deep, so it is best to plant in a shallow basin

Note: the cuttings of Rhododendron can be planted in a 10cm clay pot, which will be replaced with a 15cm flowerpot a year later

There are also woody flowers suitable for shallow pot planting: jasmine, camellia, gardenia, osmanthus, etc. only shallow planting can blossom

Chlorophytum, asparagus - deep or shallow

Chlorophytum has developed roots and is generally raised in deep pots, but Chlorophytum has solid skin and flower pots, which can be deep or shallow. The shallow basin explodes quickly. It's best to change the basin once a year

Petunia, pansy - big mouth shallow basin

Grass flowers such as Petunia, geranium, beauty cherry and pansy grow fast and are explosive. It is best to raise them in a large-diameter shallow basin. If you sprinkle seeds, they can explode into a ball

Happiness tree - deep pot planting

For large and beautiful foliage woody plants, it is best to use a higher and deeper basin, such as happy tree, kumquat, goose palm firewood, big leaf umbrella, etc., without worry and good management

Note: when planting in deep pots, the bottom of the pot should be padded for ventilation. The soil cannot be filled. For daily maintenance, less watering, more ventilation and more water spraying are required

When the deep basin doesn't know what to plant, it can be used as a set basin. It can't be wrong
